Funniest and Daftest movie cliches please. Here's a few to get you started:

*There's always a truck of hay/pillows just when the hero needs it.

*Bad guys always explain there plans before bungling killing the hero.

*English actors as badguys.

The hero will take a huge beating, then wince and complain when somebody tends to their wounds.

Yeah, watching a Bond film the other day. The one where he ends up on a bobsled, when the sled flew off into a snow bank I expected it to go BOOM! But it didn’t, I was actually a little disappointed.

Very few zombie films actually have the zombies speaking at all, let alone saying "brains..."

Return Of The Living Dead etc - the zombies actually talk to their victims. "Oh, I can smell your brains, they smell so tasty!"

As for "brains..." that's a Simpsons thing, mostly.

Yeah most of these cliches aren't universal.

But the Return of the Living Dead films (I believe there are now 3) have the whole 'brains' thing. There are other but I forget as they were indeed poor.

During any car chase I always chant "Fruit cart, Fruit cart" as one always appears for the lead car to smash through.

In addition, any car chase with a mini involved MUST by law have a flight of stairs to bomb down.

I blame the Italian Job.

when 8ft vicious aliens are skulking around your spaceship, it is always better to split up and search for it, rather than remain in the safety of a group
